Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for limiting the overspeed of an aircraft turbine engine turbine rotor, such as, for example, a turbojet engine.
- the rotor of the turbine is consequently uncoupled mechanically from the fan, which then no longer exerts a resisting torque on this shaft and which consequently limits more its speed of rotation.
- the blades of the turbine continue to be rotated by the gases leaving the combustion chamber of the turbomachine.
- the turbine then passes in overspeed, which submits the turbine rotor to excessive centrifugal forces which are likely to cause it to burst, with the consequent risk of perforation of the outer casing of the turbine and also the cabin of the aircraft which is equipped with this turbomachine.
- the overspeed limitation is therefore a mandatory constraint to be respected in the turbomachines.
- the axial position of the turbine rotor shaft is determined in particular by a thrust bearing and its coupling to the gearbox.
- the known overspeed limiting devices generally exploit the fact that the rupture of the turbine shaft allows a downstream displacement of the rotor of the turbine under the action of the pressure of the gases on the vanes of the rotor. It has thus already been proposed mechanical braking devices of the rotor of the turbine, comprising means carried by the turbine rotor and intended to bear on corresponding means of a corresponding stator so as to brake the turbine rotor, more to its downstream movement after rupture of the turbine shaft.
- This solution has the disadvantage of not allowing maximum optimization of the stator vanes, because of the presence of the bulging zones on these vanes. Moreover, this solution allows to stop the turbine only in case of axial displacement of the turbine shaft occurring in case of breakage of this shaft, but not in case of breakage of the fan shaft or breakage of the turbine shaft. an internal member of the gearbox, because this type of breakage does not cause axial displacement of the turbine shaft. But this type of breakage is nevertheless dangerous because it is likely to cause overspeed of the turbine rotor.
- the plumage devices based on the axial displacement of the turbine rotor require a frank contact between parts, and they can therefore be inoperative in case of rebound of the rotor on a fixed part, or in case of orbital of this rotor.
- Braking devices based on friction between parts have, for their part, an efficiency difficult to predict because they involve multiple uncertain parameters such as the temperature or the force exerted between the parts.
- some known devices have the disadvantage of increasing the mass total turbine and modify the aerodynamic profile of its components at the expense of engine performance in normal operation.
- FR-A1-2.907-840 has proposed a device for limiting the overspeed of the turbine shaft comprising shearing means for moving blades of at least one stage of the turbine.
- means comprising means for projecting a pin on the path of the blades.
- These projection means comprise a pin associated with a single blade stage of the turbine, which is slidably mounted between a retracted position in which it is arranged immediately recessed from the vein wall of a turbine casing, and an extended position in which it protrudes into the vein out of the turbine casing while being held by this casing to cause the blades of the associated turbine stage to burst.
- the dimensioning of the pin is itself subject to many constraints.
- the pin is larger than the distance between the vein wall of the blades to be destroyed is large. Consequently, in its retracted position, the pin has a not inconsiderable bulk behind the crankcase vein wall, which can cause problems of integration of the pin in the engine.
- the pin can not, for example, be associated with the upstream stages of the turbine because they would require a pin too large dimension while it is precisely by being associated with these floors that it would be the most effective, producing the maximum of blade debris able to destroy the successive stages of the turbine.
- the pin also can not have a large footprint behind the crankcase of the crankcase which may be incompatible with other engine components.
- the pin must also be all the more robust as it is long, so as not to be broken by shearing by the blades, the blades must instead be destroyed by the pin.
- the invention aims in particular to provide a simple, economical and effective solution to these problems, to avoid the disadvantages of the known technique.
- the invention is intended in particular to allow the destruction of several turbine blade stages, and preferably all stages of the turbine.
- the invention proposes an overspeed limitation device comprising means for projecting a free projectile on the blades of at least one blade stage of the turbine.
- the essential advantage of this device is that it is not dependent on the recoil of the rotor and can be triggered in the absence of recoil of the rotor.
- the speed with which the device slows down the rotor no longer depends only on the response time of the projection means of the projectile.
- the device makes it possible to project a free projectile through several successive stages, and, the characteristics of the projectile being calculated, to predict with certainty the destruction of all these stages.
- the invention more particularly proposes a device for limiting the overspeed of a turbine shaft of a turbomachine turbine, comprising means for destroying the blades. at least one stage of the turbine, said destruction means comprising means for projecting at least one projectile on the path of the moving blades of said stage, these projection means being mounted on a casing of the turbomachine and controlled by means of means for detecting an overspeed of rotation of the turbine, characterized in that the projection means are mounted on said casing upstream of at least one stage of the turbine and are configured to release said at least one projectile and for the projecting freely on the blades of said stage to cause the destruction of said stage.
- the projection means are mounted upstream of at least two stages of the turbine so that the said at least one projectile and the debris of blades of at least one upstream stage cause the destruction of at least one downstream stage,
- the projection means comprise a housing of a casing of the turbomachine which delimits a section of the gas circulation passageway passing through the turbine, said housing being furthermore sealed with respect to the rest of the turbomachine, the projection means being configured to release and / or project said at least free projectile into the vein from said housing,
- the housing opens into the vein via an opening and the projection means comprise a controlled door closing the opening of the housing, said door being movable between a sealed position in which it maintains said at least one projectile in the housing, and an open position in response to the detection of an overspeed of the turbine, in which it allows the releasing said at least one projectile to enable it to be driven into the vein at least by the gas flow,
- the projection means comprise a pyrotechnic, electrical or hydraulic means for opening the trapdoor,
- the projection means comprise a spring for assisting and maintaining the opening of the hatch
- the housing is attached to a wall portion of the casing and does not open into the vein, and said wall portion is configured to be traversed by said at least one projectile as soon as it is propelled against said wall portion at a distance of determined speed,
- the projection means comprise means for propelling said at least one projectile out of the housing
- the projection means are configured to orient said at least one projectile in a tangential direction to the first blade stage, this direction forming an angle of at most 90 ° with the axis of rotation of the turbine,
- the at least one projectile comprises a part of the wall of the casing
- said casing is an inter-turbine casing interposed between two consecutive casings of high-pressure, low-pressure and / or intermediate turbine turbines of said turbomachine, and arranged upstream of all the stages of the low-pressure turbine of the turbomachine,
- said at least one projectile has characteristics of mass, size, hardness, and shape, which are capable of allowing a release of energy during its impact with the blades, which is sufficient to cause the breaking of said blades.
- the invention also relates to a control device for a device for limiting overspeed of a turbine shaft of the type described above, characterized in that it comprises at least:
- a third projection step occurring in response to the second detection step, during which the projection means cause the release and / or projection of at least one free projectile into the vein.

- FIGS. 3, 4, 7 and 8 show an aircraft turbine engine 10 produced according to the invention, which is here a turbofan and double-body turbojet engine.
- the overall architecture of this turbomachine 10 is a conventional two-body architecture, known from many turbomachines known from the state of the art. For this reason, in the remainder of this description, any reference to the general architecture of a turbomachine according to the state of the art will be made with reference to FIG.
- the turbomachine 10 comprises, from upstream to downstream in the direction of flow of the gas flows F in the turbomachine, a fan 12, a low-pressure compressor 14, a high-pressure compressor 72, a chamber annular combustion 45, a high-pressure turbine 40 and a low-pressure turbine 44.
- the rotor 72R of the high-pressure compressor 72 and the rotor 40R of the high-pressure turbine 40 are connected by a high-pressure shaft (HP) 42 and form with it a high-pressure body.
- the rotor 14R of the low-pressure compressor 14 and the rotor 44R of the low-pressure turbine 44 are connected by a low-pressure shaft (BP) 16 and form with it a low-pressure body.
- the fan 12 comprises blades 13 which are connected to a fan shaft 18 which, in the example shown, is connected in rotation to the LP shaft 1 6 via a gear 20, for example a planetary gear, which has been shown here schematically.
- the blower 12 and the low-pressure compressor 14 thus form an upstream low pressure module of the turbomachine.
- blower 12 In known manner, the blower 12, and especially when it is very large, is moved at a lower rotational speed than that of the LP shaft 1 6, to better adapt aerodynamically.
- the HP 42 and BP 1 6 trees extend along a longitudinal axis A of the turbomachine 10.
- the turbomachine 10 also comprises a fan casing (not visible) which extends around the blades 12 and which defines an air inlet stream of the flows F. Part of this air enters an internal annular vein 22 of flow of a primary flow and the other part feeds an external annular vein (not visible) flow of a secondary flow.
- the vein 22 passes through the low-pressure and high-pressure compressors 72, the combustion chamber 45 and the high-pressure and low-pressure turbines 44.
- the external vein surrounds compressor and turbine casings and joins the internal vein. 22 in a nozzle (not shown) of the turbomachine 10.
- the shafts 1 6, 18 are centered and guided in rotation about the axis A by bearings 32, 34, 36.
- the shaft of the fan 18 is guided by two bearings 32, 34 with tapered rollers
- the shaft of the fan 18 is guided by two bearings 32, 34 respectively roller and ball.
- each shaft 1 6 is guided by at least one ball bearing 36 which forms an axial stop which conditions the axial position of the BP 1 6 corresponding shaft Operating.
- the recoil of the low-pressure shaft 16 can be used to counter the risk of overspeed. Indeed, in the case of such a rupture, the upstream portion of the shaft BP 1 6 is no longer retained by the ball bearing 36 and is therefore free to move axially. We have therefore proposed devices to take advantage of this decline to slow the tree BP1 6.
- the LP shaft 16 is still retained axially by its ball bearing 36, so that it is not able to retreat, and the aforementioned braking or "plumage" technologies are ineffective. .
- the LP turbines comprise in known manner for each stage blades integral with turbine disks. These discs are designed to retain the blades radially, are subjected to very intense centrifugal forces and are sized to resist to a certain speed, beyond which they may burst.
- the bursting of a disk is likely to cause the sending of debris discs and high energy vanes mainly in a radial direction, this debris then being able to pass through the casings of the turbomachine, or even the wings or the cabin of the aircraft to which the turbomachine 10 belongs, with high consequences for its safety.
- the low-pressure turbine 44 of the turbomachine 10 of the invention comprises a plurality of stages of the LP turbine 44.

Compared to the prior art, this configuration ensures that projectiles 60 pass through all stages 44a, 44b, 44c by destroying them.
- the destruction of the stages 44b, 44c following the stage 44a is not performed by the only debris blades of the upstream stages, but in addition by the projectiles 60, which ensures their destruction in an optimal manner.
